please make me king

Chapter 528
The people occupying the officers and soldiers' camp were none other than the Baoduzhai people led by Li Sanniang and Chen Changzhu.

At the beginning Zhang Shun doubled his career and occupied Yongning County one day in advance, compared with the officers and soldiers, he was richer for one day.

Zhang Shunli used the extra day to do a good job of training and investigation around Yongning County, and discovered the movement of the Beijing camp one day in advance.

By the way, Zhang used the extra day to cross mountains and ridges, report the military situation to Baodu Village, and asked Chen Changzhu to lead his troops to cut off the retreat of the officers and soldiers.

Afterwards, Wang Pu and Ni Chong suffered under Zhang Shun's command, and the messenger was sent out early the next morning to contact Chen Qiyu, Governor of Henan, which was delayed for half a day.

And because the rebel army blocked the officers and soldiers from Caisan Township and Yanling Pass behind Yongning County to Shanzhou, the officers and soldiers had to detour for more than [-] miles.

Compared with the [-] li journey of the rebel messengers crossing Xiong'er Mountain to reach Baodu Village, the journey of more than [-] miles took another day.

That is to say, when Chen Qiyu, governor of Henan, received the news that Wang Pu and Ni Chong of the Jingying had encountered the main force of the rebel army, Li Sanniang and Chen Changbing of Baodu Village had already received Zhang Shun's order to block the retreat of the officers and soldiers two and a half days in advance.

Among them, it was because Zhang Shun occupied Yongning County one day in advance, which also bought Baodu Village an extra day to rectify the military supplies.

After that, the two or three days of entanglement between the rebel army and the officers and soldiers was actually the time when Zhang Shun waited for Li Shi'an's artillery to arrive and Chen Changliang to cut off the officers and soldiers' retreat.

For this complicated operation, Zhang Shun used the method of coordinating and utilizing time to the extreme.Don't say that Chen Qiyu, Governor of Henan Province, was going to attack Luoyang with double roads, even if he spent two or three days detouring through Yanling Pass to outflank the rear of the rebels as planned, the day lily would have been cold for a long time.

Li Sanniang and Chen Changzhuan have been near Baodu Village for a long time, and they already know that from Baitu to the north, crossing mountains and ridges, and walking through Xiashigou can reach Luoshui River Valley.

Although it was difficult to travel because of the mountains, fortunately they did not carry too much luggage, food and grass, and most of the soldiers under their command were from local backgrounds, so it was quite common for them to cross mountains and ridges.

It took them three days to get out of Xiashigou, sneak across the Luoshui River, light the beacon, and report to Zhang Shun that they had arrived at the designated location.

So, by the way, Zhang led Li Shi'an's artillery battalion away from Yongning County, occupied the hillside outside the officer's camp and began shelling the officer's camp.

Afterwards, things seemed to be rehearsed, and they acted according to Zhang Shun's script.

Both Wang Pu and Ni Chong are veterans in military affairs, how could they not have been caught by Zhang Shun's scheme?

That Wang Pu quickly pulled Ni Chong and said: "Through the matter, we have all fallen into the urn. If you want to survive, I'm afraid the only way to survive is to cut off the tail!"

"In my opinion, the number of thieves occupying our army camp is relatively small, and they have no firearms. If I can lead the crowd against the army of thieves, Brother Nee will be able to escape!"

When the general officer Ni Chong heard this, he couldn't help being very moved, and quickly said politely: "Brother Wang is Gao Yi, it's just how can Brother Yu have the heart to abandon my brother and ignore him, and just live in mediocrity!"

"Brother Ni is really a man with lofty ideals. If that's the case, I have to trouble Brother Ni to stop the army of thieves for an hour. My brother will definitely take down this group of thieves and take back the camp of officers and soldiers!" Wang Pu was overjoyed and said quickly.

Ni Chong was speechless for a moment, somehow he had been fooled by Wang Pu.Under the condition of his angry eyes, Wang Pu led two or three thousand people under his command and drifted away.

Ni Chong just finished his kind words, how can he take them back?What's more, when Wang Pu led his troops away like this, the pressure on Ni Chong's department suddenly increased, and it was in danger of collapse at any time.

General Ni Chong had no choice but to raise a knife, gritted his teeth and shouted: "Brothers, today there were thieves, and they stopped them later. The only way to survive is to fight to the death."

"I'll wait but hold on for an hour, and Zongbing Wang will be able to take back the camp and open up the way to retreat!"

The other soldiers also knew that it was a critical time, and if they hesitated a little, they would end up being slaughtered, so they all shouted in unison: "I wish to die with Chief Ni!" .

At this time, the troops in front of the original officers and soldiers' camp were Li Mou's [-] troops and Chen Changzhu's [-] troops.

Chen Changbing ordered Li Xin to line up on the left with his men and horses, and Li Mou led [-] men under his command to line up on the right.

Wei Congyi led [-] cavalry under his command, and lived in the central army with Li Sanniang, Zhang Luxuan, Wu Xian, Ji Dan, Chen Changbing and others.

Fortunately, Wang Pu was not shameless to the extreme. Apart from two or three thousand infantry under his command, he only brought one cavalry, and the remaining two cavalry were left to Ni Chong to protect the two wings of the army formation, so as not to give the rebels any chance.

Before the officers, soldiers and infantry arrived, the cavalry arrived first.Wang Pu only said that the rebels occupying the camp had no cavalry under their command, so he bullied the few rebels and sent cavalry to test it first.

Galloping down the hillside, the five hundred cavalry of the officers and soldiers were even more powerful.

Facing the galloping officers and soldiers, Li Mou's soldiers had three or four hundred veterans, which was better, without much fluctuation.

It's just that Li Xin led the five hundred soldiers under Chen Changzhu's command, most of whom were recruited and trained from Kangjiazhuang, and they couldn't help but change their faces.

Seeing this, Li Xin couldn't help but ordered to level the spear to prevent the enemy cavalry from charging into the formation.But he abandoned the team and rushed forward instead.

Before the officers, soldiers and cavalry approached, Li Xin took a bow and shot an arrow, and first shot a cavalry in the face.Then he changed to a long gun and rushed over with the gun in hand.

When the officers and soldiers saw a horse rushing up, they couldn't help being surprised and happy, and quickly stabbed the three or four spears.

That Li Xin was like a loach, slippery without holding back his hands, he dodged three or four cavalry stabs with a twist of his body, and knocked down a group of officers and cavalry with a backhand shot.

After being harassed by this, the formation of the officers, soldiers and cavalry was a bit chaotic, they just hastily shot a round of arrows in front of the formation of the rebels, and then galloped away.

When the officers, soldiers and cavalry dispersed, everyone thought that Li Xin was dead.Especially Wu Xian said to Li Sanniang with a bit of a sigh: "What a man, it's just a pity!"

Unexpectedly, at this time Li Xin appeared following the officers, soldiers and cavalry, with a figure who looked like an officer in his hand, and a war horse behind him.

Only then did the rebels realize that Li Xin not only charged alone, but also captured a small official.Immediately, the morale of the rebel army was greatly boosted, and they all shouted: "The general is mighty!"

Then Wu Xian couldn't help but change his face, and muttered to himself in a low voice: "Unexpectedly, there are such warriors among the thieves, what a pity and pity!"

Li Sanniang couldn't hear it very well, so she couldn't help scolding: "Straight mother, what is a big man doing muttering? If you have the guts, you can go up and fight. Yes!"

Wu Xian couldn't help but blushed when he heard the words, and quickly argued: "You are a thief, I am an official, how can an official kill an official?"
